This blog is named after my dog, Dino the wonder dog. Other than that, this blog doesn’t have a lot to do with him, except that some days, when I am just too busy or too tired or have a migraine, I let Dino write my blog for me. On days when he has not taken over the computer, I write about my life – the past, the present and the future - my travels far and near and my home. I would love it if you would follow along.

From Iowa to Illinois

I have
traveled so much the last four months that I am still behind on telling you
about all of the places I have been to. Sometime in June, when I finally finished
blogging about my vacation to Illinois in April, I teased you that there was another trip to Illinois which I would eventually get around to telling you
about. I guess it’s time.

The first
weekend of June each year is the annual Rhubarb Fest in Aledo. Who knew? And
better yet, my brother-in-law and his wife live a short drive away. When they
suggested we come down for it this year, we checked the calendar and Hubby happened
to have that weekend off. There was no reason not to go.

It turned
out to be a beautiful weekend. And here’s only the first half of it.

Crossing the Mississippi River at Dubuque.

Riverboat in the historic town of LeClaire, voted the best place to take out of town guests, so that's where we went Friday night.

Where the Sky Meets the Sand

An American businesswoman with a secret past. An African boy without a home. Two missionaries with more than one mission to accomplish. Will all their wishes come true where the sky meets the sand on the African plain?

Read about change and then join our nonprofit, Tumaini Volunteers.

My memoir asks the question "why am I here?"

The Christmas Story 40 day devotional

Do you know the story of the first Christmas, the entire story, not just what you have seen on Christmas specials or heard in Christmas hymns?

Jesus' life on this earth began in a humble stable, but then what happened?

How Did I Get Here?

I have always wanted to be a writer, but in 1986, I fell into the medical field and have yet to crawl out. After a lot of reflection, I realize that maybe health care is my calling, but what is my passion? Writing. I also have a passion for my Savior Jesus. What else do you need to know? I have a wonderful husband, two grown children, four cats, and of course, Dino the wonder dog. In my spare time, I enjoy sewing on a cloudy day and laying in the sun on a sunny day.
